Clippers Vs. Grizzlies 4-25-13 Playoff Thread Gm. 3

@NBA playoffs: Los Angeles Clippers vs. Memphis Grizzlies previewBy TERESA M. WALKER
Posted Apr 24 2013 6:07PM
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) The Grizzlies have had a chance to sleep in their own beds and are ready to get back to playing Memphis basketball. That means rebounding, dominating the paint and some sticky defense.
Keeping Zach Randolph on the floor and out of foul trouble also would be a big help.
The Memphis All-Star has been limited by foul trouble as the Los Angeles Clippers jumped out to a 2-0 lead in this first-round series. Randolph averaged 11.2 rebounds a game during the regular....

Steal this one!!! it's the 13 th round and the grizzlies are rocked !! Knock them out

I wouldn't doubt this game will end up being the most physical of the series. Memphis has a wounded ego, the refereeing has been a total shammockery (thank you Ben Wallace) and they'll probably end up smothering CP3 with two defenders all night. I doubt Tony Allen will let that game winner he gave up go... We need to beat them up in the post and knock down our outside shots! Lets go CLIPS!

If they are all over CP which is pretty likely then its time for Billups and Jamal to do some damage.

I just thought that after I posted my comment..........bring out The Bled

Of course, the team needs to forget about history and fight hard every game...hopefully make a little history of their own.

I'm pretty confident in this one. Guys need to stay focused- aggressive but yet don't turn the ball over too much. Keep the Grizz off the offensive boards, and attack their big men. The Clipper starters and the bench unit have both been doing a good job. Battle to a tie or a basket or two ahead vs the Memphis starters, and let our bench extend the lead vs their bench + Gasol/Randolph. Once we pry the floodgates open a bit- and hitting some 3's will help- we'd be in business.

We need to take 1 of the 2 games in Memphis and try to win in 5 at home. I'd prefer a sweep but I really think Memphis isn't going to make it easy, especially tonights game.

Agree. It's not going to be easy. Their home crowd will be in it. A sweep is possible though cause as long as we play well, we automatically win since we are clearly the better team. But the refs will probably favor them.

We just need to win this series in 5 games or less. OKC is probably going to beat Houston in 4. We need as many minutes and seconds of rest for our team as possible in between series'.
